Anti syphon reducing valve

Hi Frank, I need a 1/2" sweat or NPT in line anti syphon reducing valve to replace my old Flotrol 600 12 #. I guess Flotrol went the way of the DODO.
Can you recommend a replacement. On this application it keeps the domestic HW away from the hot water baseboard and drops pressure to 12 lbs. Tag says pre-set to 12 lbs. Single story bldg. with boiler on same floor as the heat.
Dog dish is not the original equipment LOL.
Been a while hope all is good with you!

Code has changed since that was installed
you now need not only a pressure-reducing valve, but also a backflow preventer. The latter unit inserts a reduced-pressure zone between two check valves as additional protection against backflow.
Pretty much any standard unit will suffice. The Bell & Gossett FB-38 pressure-reducing valve is a decent unit, though others have their favorites. There are several different brands of backflow preventers out there, and they all perform about the same in my experience.
